Kings Park, Perth, WA

We spent the month at Bonney's WA Water Ski Park. We had several trips into Perth on the train and visited Kings Park, which is truly beautiful although we think it would be even more beautiful in September when the wildflowers are in full flower. The views are great as the park is set high on a hill overlooking the city and the Swan River. We climbed the replica Kokoda Track, very steep but not as difficult as what the Diggers had to contend with. We walked up the steep steps but many crazy office workers were running up during their lunch break.
Other trips into the city were to the Truck and Trailer Show and the Motor Show.

We also met up with Trish & Milton Cartwright, who were at Mandurah to see their family and new grandson. Had a couple of lovely days with them and they also shared our trip to the Motor Show. Crawf won two tickets to the Motor Show so it made a cheap day out for us all.
 We had another trip to Fremantle to see the great Maritime Museum, very interesting display including Australia II which won the America's Cup.

We have had a few quiet days, meeting fellow travellers and exchanging information about campsites and interesting things to see. The weather is improving and the water skiers are starting to come out.
